Is any similar/analog Oracle TRANSLATE command in R environment? Need to change specific chars to numbers:

ORACLE way: TRANSLATE('XQWERTY','QWXY','1234')
Result: '312ERT4'

What could be similar in R?

  • `chartr('QWXY','1234','XQWERTY')` - thought this had to be a dup, but I can't find a perfect one for the life of me.

There's a standard function chartr. Notice that the order of arguments is slightly different than in TRANSLATE.

chartr("QWXY", "1234", "XQWERTY")

result: "312ERT4"
